Todos los capítulos de He's With Her When I Need Him: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

Flipping his phone shut, my boyfriend, Cedric Whitley, hurriedly gave me a call. "Madison, things aren't as they seem! I'm just accompanying Chelsea because she's all by herself. She'd be too pitiful if I left her alone, so I'm just here to keep her company for a while!""Yeah, I get it. You're friends, and this is what friends are supposed to do." I cut off the call and lay back in the hospital bed, unable to catch a wink of sleep for the rest of the night. Cedric and I had been in a relationship for three years. In the past three years, I had always been the one running after him. Chelsea Calloway was his childhood friend, and according to Cedric, if there were anything going on between them, they'd have gotten together a long time ago, and he'd never have dated me in the first place.However, I didn't quite understand why she was always coming between us. Shouldn't a relationship only be between two individuals?After thinking things through, I sighed and looked up the of

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. There's a new opening in the company, and I'd like to try it out. Is anything the matter?"Cedric then reacted and said, "I was asking if there was anything you'd like to eat.""Don't worry about me. You guys go ahead and eat. I've ordered delivery.""You!" Anger seemed to have gotten the better of him for a brief moment before he calmed down and asked in a softer tone, "Madison, is there something you're hiding from me? I can't help but feel that you've changed!""Have I? I don't think so. Isn't this how you've always wanted things to be like between us?"In the past, whenever we had any arguments over Chelsea, he would always say, "I'm a free man! I don't need you to tell me what to do!" But now that I gave him the freedom he so craved, he couldn't get used to it and accused me of having changed instead. Just as Cedric was about to continue, Caleb's voice came from the kitchen. "Cedric! How do I deal with the fish? Come here and help me!"Ce

At around 11:00 pm that night, I saw Chelsea's social media post captioned, "I'm so thankful for having you in my life!"In the video, she was in Cedric's arms, and they were singing a sweet duet. I gave it a like and swiftly unfollowed her. When I entered the office the next morning, Noah announced that I had been promoted to a position in the overseas branch. Several of my colleagues whom I was familiar with clamored for a farewell dinner to congratulate me on my promotion. As I always got along with them, I readily agreed. That evening, we chose a fancy restaurant for dinner. But the moment I stepped in, I saw Cedric and Chelsea hand-in-hand, with Caleb beside them. Cedric immediately let go of Chelsea's hand when he saw me. "Why are you here?"Caleb rolled his eyes and commented, "I bet she heard that you were here, so she deliberately came over too. Say, Madison, when will you stop being such a pain? First you say that you didn't care about them, and now you're stalking th

I snapped at his words. "We're done, Cedric. Stop following me. If you keep this up, I'll call the police. You won't like what happens next. Just get your ticket and go back home! I'm here for work, not to deal with your drama."This is the last time I'm saying this, Cedric. We're in a foreign country. Don't overestimate yourself! You'd better watch your temper!"It wasn't a threat. However, Cedric still didn't believe me. He insisted on following me.The liaison from the branch office was no pushover. He had bodyguards with him. They immediately dragged Cedric away and told him not to come near me again.Furious, Cedric cursed loudly from behind.I didn't look back and got into the car without hesitation.After that, I kept getting calls from unfamiliar numbers. Cedric stayed at Gramsby, hoping I would change my mind, but I never answered his calls.About three months later, Cedric finally couldn't hold on any longer.One of the bodyguards told me a woman had picked him up and

Cedric immediately lost his composure. "How could you say I'm a madman? We loved each other, Madison! Can't you show any mercy?"I found his words amusing and sarcastically replied, "You're just my ex, whom I broke up with five years ago. A decent ex should stay silent like a dead person, especially since you're married! Stop embarrassing yourself, Cedric!"All the rosy filters were gone at that moment. I had said it as gently as I could, but what I meant was for him not to drag me down with him.If anyone didn't know better, they'd think I was the one trying to seduce him.He showed up at my hotel room late at night, pouring out his feelings.No, it wasn't really that. It was more like harassment. I was genuinely scared.Cedric, unable to accept it, was about to start shouting when the hotel staff arrived with the police.I told them what had happened, and the police were just as bewildered. They immediately took him away.Before leaving, Cedric shot me one last sorrowful look
